Its main participants were the Kataeb Party (Phalange) of Pierre Gemayel, Suleiman Franjieh and his Marada Brigade, the National Liberal Party (NLP) of Camille Chamoun and the Guardians of the Cedars of Etienne Saqr.

At the beginning of the war, the then not yet formally established Front totaled roughly 18,000 militiamen, but this number changed as many elements were non full-time militiamen.

Suleiman Franjieh's Marada ended its connection with the Lebanese Front in 1978, the year his son Tony and his family were killed. Bashir Gemayel (son of Pierre) and the Lebanese Forces unsuccessfully tried to take over the Marada by force. The Lebanese Forces violently took over their allies' militia component, the Ahrar Militia (The Tigers) in July 1980. Dany Chamoun who led the Tigers ended his connection with the Lebanese Front after the collapse of his militia, although his father Camille adopted a conciliatory position.

The Lebanese Front was a loose political coalition and the strongest force in lebanon back in its time. The members of this coalition broke off as Bashir Gemayel tried to absorb all members under his wing which lead to bloody attacks on his allies. Many believe this caused the breakup of the United Christian Lebanese Front as Bashir Gemayel also had fall outs with the prominent Christian families which led to violence which ultimately lead to his assassination. The members of this coalition created a strong political alliance before the breakup.

As the Lebanese Forces developed, under the command of Bashir Gemayel, later in 1986 Samir Geagea became leader after years of attempts in forcing out other elected LF leaders and potential LF leadership successors. It was the second strongest Christian militia after the Lebanese Front until Israel stopped funding them with arms in the early mid 80's. Then Samir Geagea fought off other LF members for years with the goal of taking over the LF led them to war with the General Michel Aoun and the Lebanese Army which led to the disarmament of the Lebanese Forces. Samir Geagea was found guilty of assassinating his former ally Dany Chamoun and his family who was also a supporter of Michel Aoun.He was also charged with other war crimes. The Lebanese Forces is presently a political party in the Lebanese Parliament. The LF currently hold 5 seats (they control 4.0% in parliament) of the 128 seats available in the Lebanese Parliament.
